INSTRUCTION MANUAL DUAL BAND FM TRANSCEIVER i2800H This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FOREWORD READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. CAUTIONS RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL -- This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-2800H. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention--anything less may result in an accident. RWARNING! HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER disassemble the remote controller. There is a high voltage circuit inside. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC or using reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver. NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual. WORD R WARNING CAUTION NOTE DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. Equipment damage may occur. If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan on the rear panel. Versions of the IC-2800H which display the "CE" symbol on the serial number seal comply with the European harmonised standard ETS300 684 (EMC product standard for Commercially Available Amateur Radio Equipment). DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit. i DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle's engine. When transceiver power is ON and your vehicle's engine is OFF, the vehicle's battery will soon become exhausted. For LCD display DO NOT press the LCD screen. Excessive pressure may cause permanent damage to the LCD. DO NOT tap or scratch the LCD using sharp objects. BE CAREFUL when cleaning the LCD. Dust can easily scratch the surface. LCDs are produced using high-density manufacturing technology resulting in 99.98% active dots, however, up to 0.02% of the dots may be non-active and/or continuously active. This is normal and does not indicate LCD malfunction. Uneven areas may be displayed depending on display contents in some cases. After displaying the same screen continuously for long periods, image `burn-in' may occur. In such cases, turn the power OFF and discontinue operation for at least 24 hours. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below ­10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver's surfaces. Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods. USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturer's microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver if attached. For U.S.A. only CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES ......... 1 2 PANEL DESCRIPTION ......... 2 ­ 13 s Controller unit ......................... 2 s Function display ...................... 4 s Basic function menu ............... 6 s Main unit ................................. 8 s HM-98 microphone ............... 10 s HM-97/118N microphone ...... 13 3 INSTALLATION ................... 14 ­ 17 s Location ................................ 14 s Mounting with the mounting bracket .................................. 14 s Mounting the remote controller ............................... 15 s Battery connection ................ 15 s DC power supply connection ............................ 16 s Cable connection .................. 16 s Antenna installation .............. 17 4 FREQUENCY SETTING ...... 18 ­ 22 s Preparation ........................... 18 s Lock functions ....................... 19 s Using the tuning dial ............. 20 s Using the [Y]/[Z] keys .......... 20 s Setting a tuning step ............. 21 s Using the keypad .................. 22 5 BASIC OPERATION ............ 23 ­ 25 s Receiving .............................. 23 s Monitor function .................... 24 s Audio mute function .............. 24 s Transmitting .......................... 24 s Selecting output power ......... 25 s One-touch PTT function ........ 25 6 REPEATER OPERATION ... 26 ­ 31 s Accessing a repeater ............ 26 s 1750 Hz tone ........................ 28 s Subaudible tone .................... 29 s Offset frequency ................... 30 s Auto repeater function .......... 31 7 MEMORY/CALL CHANNELS ......................... 32 ­ 39 s General ................................. 32 s Programming during selection................................. 32 s Programming after selection.. 33 s Transferring memory contents to another memory ................ 33 s Programming during selection via the microphone ............... 34 s Programming after selection via the microphone ............... 34 s Transferring memory contents to another memory via the microphone ........................... 35 s Memory clear ........................ 36 s Alphanumeric display ........... 37 s Call channel .......................... 38 8 SCRATCH PAD MEMORY ... 40 ­ 41 s What is a scratch pad memory?
